Technical Abstract

In an electronic device according to the present invention, a shield case is disposed at a surface of a main board so as to cover at least a part of a region of the surface of the main board; and an auxiliary board is disposed at a surface of the shield case. The shield case is comprised of a metallic frame that is fixed at the surface of the main board and extends in such a manner as to surround at least the part of the region, and a metallic cover fitted into the metallic frame to cover at least the part of the region. A projecting piece is formed in the metallic frame of the shield case, and penetrates the metallic cover and projects toward the auxiliary board. An end face of the auxiliary board abuts against the projecting piece, so as to position the auxiliary board.
